Summary of Finance-Specific Content

Goal

Achieve the first $1 million starting from zero in approximately 6 years using stock market investing and compound interest.

Key Concepts

The power of compound interest (“the sixth wonder of the world”) is emphasized, particularly the importance of time in growing investments.
Early and consistent investing accelerates wealth accumulation.
The challenge is broken into smaller milestones to track progress:
- $1,000
- $50,000
- $100,000
- $250,000
- $1 million
The first million is the hardest milestone; subsequent milestones become easier due to compounding.

Investment Assumptions & Methodology

Monthly investment: 10 million Vietnamese Dong (~$430 USD).
Target monthly return: approximately 5.95% (equivalent to about 30% annualized).
Growth simulation using a spreadsheet model:
- Month 1: Invest 10 million VND, earn 5.95% interest (~594,000 VND).
- Month 2: Principal + interest + new 10 million investment = 20.594 million VND.
- This process repeats monthly with reinvestment.
Progress milestones:
- After 12 months: total capital 120 million VND, interest earned 48 million VND, total 168 million VND.
- 30 months: account doubles.
- 35 months: reaches $1.1 million VND equivalent.
- 47 months: account quadruples.
- 59 months: interest grows 7x.
- 71 months: interest grows 13x.
- 83 months: interest grows 23x.
- 88 months: interest grows 29x, total about 26 billion VND (~$1 million USD).
Realistic scenario: Annual return closer to 30% extends the timeline to about 14–16 years to reach $1 million.

Stocks Mentioned (Examples of High Returns)

SHB: 112% return in 176 days.
